Description
Claygate House is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house that has undergone later alterations. It features plain single-storey flanking wings. The house is constructed from stugged grey ashlar coursers with polished dressings and margins.
On the south elevation, there is a central panelled and glazed door with a fanlight set in splayed reveals. The ground floor has canted four-light windows, while the first floor has single windows, all of which are small-paned sashes. The roof has saw-toothed skews and corniced end stacks, and it is covered with graded slates. At the rear, there is a tall square outshot. The west wing is rendered and consists of a single bay, while the longer east wing is made of painted rubble.
There are altered outbuildings to the rear (north). Inside, the house features decorative cast-iron stair balusters. To the south, there are ashlar-built chamfered square gatepiers with projecting flat pyramidal caps.
